RW with an Old Selmer

Author: RW with an Old Selmer

My father played a Selmer Paris Model BT, which appears to have a 1013 Serial.
I'm having a hard time pinning down if this indeed means it was manufactured in 1922. Can anyone out there tell me more about this specific instrument and given its age whether it has any special value? Thank you for any insight about this clarinet.

If it is really a French Selmer there should be a letter before the serial number e.g. 'L', 'M' or 'N'. And 1922 is too early for a BT.
